Saddam to sue Bush, Blair and Rumsfeld for war crimes
Khalil al-Dulaimi said Saddam wants to sue both leaders, along with US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for allegedly authorising the use of weapons such as depleted uranium artillery shells, white phosphorous, napalm and cluster bombs.
“We will sue Bush, Blair and Rumsfeld in The Hague for using such weapons of mass destruction,” Mr al-Dulaimi said in Jordan. No complaint has been filed to the International Criminal Court in The Netherlands, but Mr al-Dulaimi said Saddam’s foreign defence team will present it “very soon”. “President Saddam intends to bring those criminals to justice for their mass killings of Iraqis in Baghdad, Ramadi, Fallujah and Qaim and abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib,” said the lawyer.
